The following writing exercise seems aligned with Sarah Susanka's meditation idea of "where are you now".... it asks you to list things from yesterday, rather than now. My immediate change to this is to skip the doodle and add "felt." The goal is to help build your noticing skills.
From a writing workshop with memoirist and author of Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life, Dani Shapiro, a quadrant writing exercise. In this exercise you:
1. Divide your paper up in four quadrants and label each quadrant: Did, Saw, Heard, Doodle.
2. Think about yesterday and write 7 things that you did, write 7 things you saw, write 7 things you heard, and draw 1 doodle.
